Gluten-free banana bread with maple walnut topping

There's nothing better than a banana bread to start off your morning on the right foot. It’s moist, delicious, and full of nutrients – and will keep you full for hours. Best of all, this recipe can be enjoyed by all different culinary camps – the gluten-free and gluten-consumers equally. I brought this banana loaf into the office to test it out and no one missed the wheat flour!

(Then again, standards are somewhat lower in the workplace where everyone always seems to be ready for a snack. What is that about, anyway? Grown adults, and we can’t pack ourselves decent lunches to carry us through the day!)
